A lo-fi re-recording of our spoken word track from the 2017 first album.

lyrics

I was walking along the sidewalk
When I saw this building, and I thought
Yeah, I'd like to become familiar with that.
Now don't get me wrong, I know I ain't Superman
I don't have a magic cape nor have I wings.
But something so deep inside me called out
To the free spirit I knew I could find atop that edifice.

I evaded the security guard and ran to the stairwell
I climbed the steps to the 55th floor and I looked around
The cityscape stretched out before me, and I had never seen it like that.
Guess I never looked at too many pictures before of all the guys
Whose job it is to repair the fog lights, wash the windows and whatnot.

At the far end of the roof, a sentinel loomed
It was a crane, and it towered at least 20 stories higher than me.
I ran to it and caressed the steel
But the dark and the rain and the wind made that a daunting task.

I descended the stairs thinking, "I must get out of here.
Maybe I can hit the store for a low-alcohol beer."
Funny I'm not, but I can tell you this
I felt alive.

There's more to the story, but I can't tell you from where I am
But it's safe and warm and I'm on the up-and-up.
And every morning, I've got sunshine streaming out my derriere,
As I sip americano from my porcelain cup.
